New arrival! 68 minutes, 1 second

Polyspace
Tactual Sense


I'm starting to seek out the music of Polygon and all its side projects. Aeons ago, I picked up a copy of Mortal Constraint's The Legend of Deformation and really liked it. But then I never followed Ingo Lindmeier's musical evolution from the previous project's harsh industrial soundscapes into the more IDM-based atmospheres of Polygon. My bad; now the releases are kind of hard to find.

Polyspace is a collaboration between Polygon and For a Space, which I'd never heard of before. This disc has a spacy sort of ambience--industrial/IDM with a light touch, somewhere between Digital Soundtracks-era Clock DVA and Beefcake. Repeating piano figures drive a lot of the melody, and the pieces move slowly and in a smooth-funky way. It's soothing, in its own off-kilter way.
